This week, the author Taylor Trudon spoke with five women who chucked their careers to the curb in the pursuit of something new (I promise none of them ended up teaching goat yoga in Costa Rica—not that there’s anything wrong with that).

If you’re thinking about making a career pivot of your own, this story is a great place to start (as is this story about wardrobe swaps for major life changes).

In a similar nod to embracing something new, author and M.M. alumna Tory is back with an update to her 7-piece quarantine uniform.

now, she’s assembling a uniform for what she’s calling the “Optimistic In-Between”: “Day-to-day life is still slow and cautious,” writes Tory. “But there are glimmers of hope everywhere you look.”

M.M. as a company is also thinking about change and growth, specifically when it comes to sustainability. It’s not something we often talk about publicly, but behind the scenes, we’ve been shifting toward more sustainable fabrics, packaging, and production practices for years. In honor of Earth Day earlier this week, we decided to let you in on some of the things we’ve been working on.

We're loving this little site, which let us pause for a minute and think about what brings us fulfillment.

We're loving this little drink, which is smoky and bitter and somehow perfect for the in-between season we’re in right now.

We're loving this little tool, which has turned washing our face in the morning into a ritual that feels elevated and calming. It also takes us just as long as it takes the coffee to brew, which feels fortuitous.

Our May Book Club pick: Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner. From Michelle Zauner, the musician behind Japanese Breakfast and author of the 2018 New Yorker essay that inspired this book, comes a memoir about food, identity, and her Korean heritage in the wake of losing her mother.
